First Issue of Amiga Format Magazine Published (1989)

British multimedia publisher Future released the first issue of Amiga Format Magazine in July 1989. Amiga Format was a computer magazine centering on Amiga computers. The magazine lasted 136 issues, ceasing publication in the year 2000. Amiga Format was originally the dual-format title ST/Amiga Format Magazine, however Future sold one of its brands to another publisher called EMAP, creating the need to split the dual-format title into two separate publications. At the magazine’s height in 1991, Amiga Format was selling 135,000 copies a month.
